Beth WoldMember Since June 2010Artist Statement Beth Wold is a fine art photographer specializing in landscape and wildlife photography.

Her work has been collected and displayed on four continents, and she was recently named "North Dakota Artist of the Year" by Twin Cities Tosca Magazine. Beth has had several gallery shows, and was recently chosen as "Mayor's Choice" artist. Several photographs have been given awards in juried art competitions, and published in books and magazines. Beth earned a Bachelors of Arts from the University of North Dakota.
